• This video of a 9-year-old who eats a Carolina Reaper pepper has gone viral (spoiler alert: chilies are hot sometimes).
• Pimenton is the key behind this recipe for barbecue sauce from the New York Times 
• Summer is a great time to try your hand at infusing booze, and Liquor.com has several recipes to get you started, including a spicy jalapeño-and-cucumber gin.
